My health recovery is incredibly fast.

Late at night on the same day.

After finishing his overtime work at the sea castle, Xia Zuo flew towards the teleportation room in the city while thinking about work matters.

He is now focusing on biomimetic materials and bait for white cow tongue sponges.

This deep-sea monster, which can passively absorb water energy, needs to be processed to become the envisioned [water energy recharge device].

The team has three ideas for feasible solutions for the recharge device.

The first method is to directly transplant the white bovine tongue sponge from all angles, adapting the sponge's membrane, chambers, etc., to the combat puppet without alteration.

This approach is simple, direct, and quick; conservatively speaking, it can be achieved with just one to two months of intensive research.

The disadvantages are quite obvious.

The entire transplanted white cow tongue sponge has virtually no protective capabilities and is easily destroyed by impact during combat.

Accompanying this solution is a device that can quickly replace the white ox tongue sponge, so that damaged white ox tongue sponges can be temporarily replaced on the battlefield.

Option 2:

Based on the first option, a protective component is added to the white cow tongue sponge to permanently or semi-permanently bind it to the combat golem.

谷撖

The third option is completely different from the previous two.

Hillenburg's team wanted to truly understand the principles of passive energy absorption before they could create a recharger.

This became the research task for each member of the group.

Xia Zuo has some ideas.

Recovering energy is similar to preventing the loss of elements.

The elemental shell isolates the delicate element from the natural world.

So, we can use some method to block the connection between energy and the outside world, and then collect the energy back.

The white ox tongue sponge, by utilizing its porous nature, locks away any energy that escapes into the winding and circuitous intestinal tract.

Therefore, Xia Zuo's goal is to develop an energy pipeline with a very complex energy transfer route.

This is a very delicate task. First, a huge model needs to be created, and then the model needs to be scaled down proportionally.

This is somewhat like designing a circuit board.

In short, the third option involves a huge amount of work.

Xia Zuo was prepared to work long hours.

Time flies, and years pass quickly.

Hillenburg's group ultimately succumbed to the real-world research challenges.

Together, they created a water-based energy recharger that is half a meter tall.

This energy device is too large and very delicate; it will temporarily malfunction if it encounters even a slight energy impact or collision with a hard object.

Hillenburg's team wanted to further reduce its size so that it could be housed in a protective device.

Unfortunately.

It may be due to some unknown energy effect that when the size of the recharger is further reduced and the internal pipes are more dense and thinner, the operation of the recharger will be very unstable.

The Hillenburg group doesn't have much time to study this unknown energy effect right now.

They were forced to switch to the second research plan.

More than six months have passed since the discovery of the white bovine tongue sponge.

The research and development process of the Hillenburg team has come to an end, and the finalized combat puppet has been handed over to the outer hall for review.

Xia Zuo is temporarily leaving behind his busy research and development life and is about to embark on a journey to the snowy plains.

Inside Christo's office in the Temple teaching area.

Christor summoned a long table and placed a series of glass bottles and a metal box on it.

"These potions are beginner-level to expert-level novice potions. As per our agreement, for every Life Essence you contribute, we will provide a reward."

"Thirty regeneration potions of different grades are your reward for contributing five life essences a few days ago."

After Christo and Shazo put the glass bottles away, Christo patted the metal box and continued:

"This is a tool for strengthening a general-purpose elemental body. Take it to the quiet room in the academy to use. The instruction manual is also in the box. Feel free to ask me any questions."

“Yes, sir.” Xia Zuo patted the box to check its weight; it was much lighter than he had expected.

"Once you're ready, you can take an airship to Eternal Winter City in the north of the Silvermoon Federation at any time. From there, head to the Pillars of Creation."

Christo took out an image orb and placed it on the table.

"Use this to record the scene of the Pillar of Creation and bring back the orb to complete the trial. After that, I will hold a ceremony for you and teach you how to make the silver sand and the orb, as well as the corresponding spells."

Xia Zuo picked up the pearl, ran his fingers over the smooth sphere, and then asked:

"After I complete the ritual, will I become a member of the Tower Mage?"

“Yes,” Christo nodded.

"The good news is that Tower Mages can access the knowledge of Shamanism, but they cannot use spells involving spirits and totems. Once you officially become a Tower Mages, I will help you unlock some of your memories."

Xia Zuo rubbed the slightly throbbing back of his head. "Um... Your Excellency, what about the history from the First Era to the Fourth Era? May I consult the relevant texts?"

“Yes,” Christo said with a gleam in her eyes.

"But you won't learn history here. You'll find out when you return to the Western Continent."

Xia Zuo was taken aback.

Should we return to the Western Continent to study history again?

Am I going to become Beatrice's student again?

Chapter 93 [Vitality Recycling]

After returning to Poseidon, Xia Zuo immediately went to the university.

Sylvia booked a quiet room for him.

Shazo opened the metal box that Christo had given him in the room.

The box contained few items, mainly a brightly patterned embroidered cape and two rings of different designs.

The shimmering embroidered cloak is a creation of enchanting. It is entirely white with ice-blue spell patterns and is enchanted with the effect of resisting wind and snow.

Those two rings are standard equipment for tower mages.

One is a silver ring with a unique effect: it can store the caster's energy, functioning similarly to a blue potion with an indefinite shelf life.

The other ring is a spell ring, with the fixed enchantment of [Pathfinding], which can be used without limit as long as there is enough stamina.

Spell rings are specifically designed for casting detection spells that require extensive knowledge.

The principles of detection spells are largely the same, and all require the caster to have sufficient knowledge to ensure the accuracy of the detection results.

When a spellcaster casts a detection spell, it is equivalent to rapidly searching their knowledge base, finding information that matches the target's characteristics from a vast amount of data.

The principle behind [pathfinding] is the same.

It quickly determines the spellcaster's current location and points out the direction of the destination by collecting geographical and astronomical information from the spellcaster's senses.

If a caster wants to manually cast the [Pathfinding] spell, they need to have prior knowledge of geography and astronomy.

However, by casting spells through a spell ring, one no longer needs to memorize the knowledge, because this knowledge is stored in the ring beforehand.

Simply put, a spell ring is a spellcasting tool with its own database.

These two rings can be secured using standard binding methods.

Xia Zuo plucked two strands of hair with their follicles still attached and stuffed them into the round hole inside the ring.

The cheat engine sent him a message reminding him that the binding was successful.

Xia Zuo walked to the window, put on the two rings, and then gently rubbed the spell ring, pouring elemental energy into it.

An invisible wave of magic emanated from his fingertips, quickly sweeping across the surrounding environment.

The phantom of the Pillar of Creation appeared in Xia Zuo's field of vision.

Located northeast of Xiazuo, it is a large volcano spewing billowing black smoke, with a huge black smoke column piercing the sky, and flickering flames faintly visible in the crater.

This phantom is not the current state of the Pillars of Creation; it is merely an image from the spellcasting ring's database, used to indicate the destination.

Xia Zuo switched fingers and gently rubbed the silver ring.

The ring feels cool to the touch, and when you stroke it, you feel a slight prickling sensation, like a metal object with a weak electric current.

According to the instruction manual inside the metal box, simply holding the ring tightly will allow you to store energy.

The stronger the tingling sensation, the more energy is stored.

Xia Zuo brought up the character template and tried it out.

When his energy dropped to 30% of its maximum, the pricking sensation from the ring became very noticeable, and he even had the illusion that his finger was about to be pricked.

Xia Zuo stopped channeling his energy, rubbed his slightly swollen brows, and released a detection spell on the silver ring.

..

[Energy Reserve] 80 points.

..

Xia Zuo took off the silver ring and put it on his other hand.

At this moment, the ring felt warm to the touch, and a warm trickle flowed from my finger into my body.

The dizziness in Xia Zuo's head immediately dissipated, and the energy level on his character template was fully restored.

It's amazing.

Xia Zuo gave a silent compliment, walked back to the table, and picked up the embroidered cloak with a bright pattern.
